Flo50 Individual Boys XC Rankings Countdown

15. 

Athlete: Sam Affolder

Year: 2019

School: Loudoun Valley, VA


Analysis: Sam Affolder will be running at a new school for a third year in a row, as his family moves a lot due to his dad LTC Jason Affolder serving in the army. Have no worries, though, as Affolder will be stronger than ever. He joins the extremely competitive Loudoun Valley team who is already returning all of their top guys from the 2016 season. Affolder brings to the team PRs of 1:54.32 in the 800m, 4:08.67 in the 1600m, 9:02.95 in the 3200m, and a 15:17.00 XC 5K PR. He was the runner-up at the Foot Locker Northeast Regional and finished 40th at Foot Locker Nationals. The Loudoun Valley boys will be looking to make some noise not only in Virginia but also on the national stage.
